The Prodigies War

All of a sudden, the aura around Lin Xun dropped sharply, which was simply appalling and hard to accept. Meanwhile, taking advantage of this stunned moment, Alpha Origin strode forward and repeated his previous move, stripping away another chunk of essence energies from him!

When one's very essence energies of vitality, qi, and spirit were weakened, it would affect the performance of their dao as a whole, not to mention when it was done twice consecutively. Lin Xun staggered, his aura thrashing around.

Seeing that, Bodhi's heart leapt to his throat.

“Dao Brother, don't panic. Lin Xun definitely has a way to defuse this,” the golden cicada softly transmitted. He watched the battle without blinking, his expression peaceful and unperturbed.

In the field, as Alpha Origin was going for it again, something suddenly exploded! A rain of obscure light erupted on Lin Xun, and his lost energy recovered in an instant!

Alpha Origin sighed. “The power of Nirvana truly is something else.”

“Depriving living beings of their essence... Is this the dao of life that you have grasped?” Lin Xun asked.

“Yes. This dao involves the origin of Life. After all, every life needs vitality, qi, and spirit to refine their blood, temper their flesh, nourish their soul, and thus become capable of mobilizing their strength from inside out. Vitality, qi, and spirit are the three essentials of the origin of Life. Once I fathom its mysteries, I can wield this power to decide others’ life and death with my mind,” Alpha Origin frankly said.

The conversation didn't affect the flow of their attacks. Their exchanges remained heated. However, from this moment on, what they were competing in was their respective understanding and control of the Dao of Life.

Alpha Origin would easily chop off a part of Lin Xun's essence with every strike in a bizarre way that made it hard to evade. However, the latter's Nirvana principle would repair the damage instantly.

The particularly magical part was, as his essence again and again was shaved off and then revitalized after enduring Nirvana, it seemed to undergo a series of subtle metamorphoses, becoming stronger each time!

Alpha Origin keenly noticed this and couldn't help smiling bitterly. “At this rate, I would be helping you instead. The word ‘calamity’ is really so damn irritating.”

Having also comprehended the origin of Calamity, he knew what he was doing to Lin Xun acted as repeated tribulations. With the Nirvana principle, the other party was undoubtedly being tempered and achieving growth after overcoming the ‘tribulations’ over and over again.

Of course, this was by no means an inevitable cycle. If he successfully made Lin Xun die to a tribulation, then it would be moot. Apparently, though, he was not at a level where he could do that in a single blow.

Suddenly, Alpha Origin chortled. “However, dueling with you has allowed me to realize some of Nirvana’s arcana, so it's not entirely a loss.”

“You and I are both going through a great tribulation here. This means we will both get stronger, but only the one who wins and lives will get to enjoy the benefits,” Lin Xun indifferently said.

“Then let's see which one of us will live.” Alpha Origin laughed.

Kaboom! Their battle became even more intense.

In fact, the battle between Chen Xi and Ape Ancestor had also reached an incredibly intense and ferocious point. They had sustained injuries, but Chen Xi looked a bit more relaxed in general.

However, Ape Ancestor was not going down anytime soon, at which Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh with emotion. This Taishang Lord has made such a huge progress while I wasn't looking. Compared to back then, he is like a different person.

The fight between Chen Linkong and Black Crow had also reached the highest intensity. Both of them were peak Immeasurable Eternals, and since their cultivation bases were at the same level, what they were competing in was also their dao control and proficiency.

“Can't keep dragging it on like this...” In the middle of battle, Lin Xun glanced at the heavy chaos in the distance. He then turned back to Alpha Origin and declared, “Fellow Daoist, in terms of comprehension level of the Dao of Life, you're far behind me.”

Alpha Origin narrowed his eyes.

Rumble!

Lin Xun's aura abruptly changed as a completely different might and divinity emerged from him. The Realm of All Spirits was projected around him with perfect visual quality, branching into nine sky zones of Mortal Transformation, Calamitous, Dark, Past Retracing, Source of Evil, Thousand Tribulations, Dao Defining, Dao Derivation, and Xuanhuang.

In each sky zone, a kind of mysterious primal chaos origin law came into existence. They all mingled together, rotating in the Realm of All Spirits. Following that, the Realm of All Mysteries was also reflected in Lin Xun's dao. Dotted by countless secret domains, it resembled a universe of sparkling sand.

Gradually, a mass primal chaos origin emerged, looking like a thick curtain of light concealing a strange assortment. One could vaguely spot the mysteries of spirit empowerment, reincarnation, and many other incredible concepts in it. This mass of chaos even revealed a mysterious ancient tree!

It was the Forbidden Land of Myriad Wonders! Together with the Realm of All Spirits and the Realm of All Mysteries, it was sketching a near-complete All-Wonder Dominion in Lin Xun's dao.

Suddenly, his aura had charged accordingly, giving the impression that he was now the lord of the Realm of All Mysteries. His every movement and breath resonated with this heaven and earth, forming a kind of rhythm centering around him.

At this moment, all Immeasurable Eternals distributed in the nine sky zones of the Realm of All Mysteries shuddered, sensing the emergence of a supreme will. They looked at one another, their complexions pale and their minds suffering a huge impact.

To precisely explain this phenomenon, the entire All-Wonder Dominion's origin aura was being pulled and influenced by Lin Xun's dao!

It caused both Chen Xi and Ape Ancestor to be shocked even though they were still in the middle of battle. They revealed different expressions. Chen Xi laughed in delight and what seemed to be an epiphany, whereas Ape Ancestor's face took on a hint of gloom.

As for Chen Linkong and Black Crow, they both took a mental hit that disturbed their minds, which fortunately prevented either of them from taking the advantage to heavily wound the other.

Meanwhile, Bodhi’s and the golden cicada’s expressions changed slightly. The former was relieved, while the latter seemed to fall into thought.

Even Alpha Origin looked visibly impressed. “This is what you have gained from ten years of comprehending?”

“That it is,” Lin Xun said, deploying a punch. This punch was undecorated, yet it gave Alpha Origin an unprecedented sense of threat. The power in it directly threatened his life!

BAM!

Alpha Origin staggered back upon being hit, rattled to the point his life origin was in turbulence. His everything from vitality, qi, and spirit to blood and soul was as if subjected to a heavenly punishment. This was a killing attack aimed at life, so powerful that no usual means could stop it!

Despite that, Alpha Origin laughed out loud. “Not bad, not bad at all. All these countless years I've waited are not in vain. What I have waited for is exactly this Dao of Life!”

As he spoke, he suddenly extended his arms in a certain direction and grabbed through the air. The power of this move spanned across spacetime, drilling through the heavy chaos. Also right at this moment, Xia Zhi's beautiful silhouette was seen struggling to exit the Forbidden Land of Myriad Wonders.

Before she could secure a foothold, Alpha Origin's palm force had arrived. Lin Xun had been prepared since the moment he had openly announced that Xia Zhi would be returning, so naturally, he was not surprised that Alpha Origin would strike at this juncture.

“Go!”

Lin Xun raised a thought, and an abstruse light curtain of chaos appeared out of thin air right before Xia Zhi, blocking the palm force.

KABOOM!

An earth-shattering collision resounded, throwing that distant void into disarray. In the meantime, Lin Xun had already shot toward Xia Zhi. Compared with killing Alpha Origin, he was more concerned about her safety.

Unfortunately, how could Alpha Origin allow that? He swept over and blocked Lin Xun.

“You can't stop me.” Lin Xun said, about going to start blasting at full might.

Right at this moment, a gentle voice rang out, “Young Friend Lin, please stop. Otherwise, your master's life might be at risk.”

Lin Xun was shaken. The composed look he had maintained this entire battle completely cracked.

In his spirit sense, he saw the golden cicada pressing one hand on Bodhi's shoulder with a calm expression. In contrast, Bodhi's face was filled with shock, anger, and above all disbelief. Clearly, he had never even dreamed that the golden cicada would make a move against him!

This sudden turn of events caught Lin Xun utterly off guard as well. His state of mind slipped into a brief moment of disorder. Seizing it, Alpha Origin made a palm chop.

Boom!

Lin Xun's entire essence was stripped away this time. As if losing all vitality, his shell dried and ruptured into countless cracks.

“Lin Xun!”

Bodhi was shocked and furious. He tried to break free, but the golden cicada’s palm on his shoulder was terrifyingly firm as it confined his entire peak Immeasurable cultivation base. Not to mention breaking free, he couldn't even lift a finger.

Chen Xi’s pupils constricted, but he didn't panic. Taking a deep breath, he charged up and forcefully pushed Ape Ancestor away, then teleported toward Alpha Origin.

“Fellow Daoist, this is their dao battle. Please do not intervene.” The golden cicada suddenly appeared on Chen Xi’s path. His expression was still tranquil, and Bodhi was still restrained under his palm.

Swish!

Chen Xi chopped out, using his palm as a sword. The golden cicada's sleeve puffed up, and a divine flash of light soundlessly dissolved the sword qi.

Chen Xi's pupils shrank. At this moment, Ape Ancestor caught up. Chen Xi was thus trapped between two enemies.

Boom!

Ape Ancestor attacked, forcing Chen Xi to deal with him. His face darkened as he asked, “Golden Cicada, who on earth are you?”

Even he had never expected that the golden cicada would suddenly ‘defect.’ Moreover, the timing was simply a stroke of genius, precisely at the moment when Lin Xun was trying to receive Xia Zhi.

Bodhi's life being threatened had caught him by surprise for a split second, giving Alpha Origin the opportunity to deal a fatal blow!

Such a change had led the whole situation astray. Not only was Lin Xun in peril, but both Bodhi and Xia Zhi had also fallen into a worrying circumstance. In a domino effect, things had started to look unfavorable for Chen Xi and Chen Linkong!

One hair got pulled and the whole body jerked. The golden cicada had become the biggest variable in this game!
